I came across a Web site recently that argues aggressively that the earth is at the center of the universe. I dismissed it. And I refuse to believe that the baseball writers that have watched Chris Sale have an inconsistent season including a few brilliant performances, some losses where he couldn't hold leads and a few games like Sunday's will cheapen the Cy Young Award by voting for him over Max Scherzer.

It's possible that Sale will get a few votes. There were baseball writers that left Henry Aaron off their Hall of Fame ballots the only year he was eligible for election.

Yes, you have hit the nail on the head, a lunatic fringe website arguing something that was disproven centuries ago is equitable with ESPN, arguably the most cited sports journalism outfit in the country.

Threads like these can be maddening, but it's always fun watching somebody try and dig out of a hole they have buried themselves in.
